One Thing That Sustains A Relationship

Our culture teaches us to stand up for our individuality and our rights. We are not encouraged to give into or accommodate another person's different views or desires—
even if that person is our mate. We are to let God transform us and so blend the differences between our thoughts and actions that we become truly one. 

Our Creator created us distinct and very different from one another. When we accept those differences as our Creator given and even blessed by Him, we will experience the rewards of more positive attitudes, better relationships,  mutual respect and godly character. Here is one thing that sustains a relationship.

One Thing That Sustains A Relationship:#

Delightfully And Uniquely Different#

Do not be confirmed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Accept what God has made: unique men and women created for a special purpose. Again love others, particularly the mate our Creator has given you. Loving your partner doesn't mean changing him or her. Loving your wife or husband means understanding how she is different from you and how he is different from you respectively.

A relationship is built by wisdom and by understanding it is established. It means that a loving understanding for each other as husband and wife or as partners solidly established your relationship, marriage and your family.

When you continuously seek to understand your partner leads to less anger and frustration. You may still become irritated, frustrated, and disturbed by some of your mate's or partner's actions, but at least you will be growing in your knowledge of why he or she is doing what he or she is doing.

Remember how much you enjoyed looking terrible in the funny mirrors at amusement parks when you were a kid? It was fun  because you knew you really did not look like that. You could always find a real mirror and be sure you were really you. Same thing happens in marriage and relationships. Each partner  becomes the mirror for the other.

The only and often problem in a bad marriage or relationship is working like those old amusement park mirrors. When a spouse begins to reflect ugly things and the other one feels that his or her best self isn't there anymore. Mirrors reflect in simple ways; people are far more complicated. What we need to understand is that we choose what we reflect and what we choose has much to do with what the other person becomes. One of the most exciting thing about being married is helping your partner become his or her own best self by reflecting with love.

Having positive reflecting will make your spouse feel good about himself/herself and about you, but it will also change the way you feel. It will surprise you how happier you will become about your marriage and the person you are married to or that relationship you are into as you look for positive and overlook the negative. This is going to happen even if at the end your partner does not change at all.

Always ask God for understanding whenever your marriage or relationship is having difficult times or facing challenges. Start having positive reflecting about your partner and see how your marriage or relationship walks in love.

Things you should expect when you connect with your spot

Get out of the rat race. After all, if you win, you will simply be the big rat. Stop running in the competition. The only person you should compete with is yourself. "how well am I performing in my leadership spot," is what you should ask yourself. You have to know that the battery does not compete with a spark plug, because the battery knows the spark plug can never be a battery, and so on. They sit in the engine in their spots and serve the engine their gift without competing

Why does negative behaviour continue?

It works. There is some kind of payoff, some type of momentary satisfaction that is derived from not changing. The reward might be financial or psychological. Some people will continue unproductive behaviour to seek approval, acceptance, praise, or love. Others continue their unacceptable actions out of pride, greed or a sense of personal fulfilment. They may oppress others with their need to always be right because they treasure being right- even if it destroys a relationship.

Adding value to other people is the work of a positive influencer

As you move up to the higher levels of influence and become an active influencer, you can begin to have a positive influence on people and add value on their lives. That's true for any positive influencer. The baby-sitter who reads to the child encourages him to love books and helps him become a lifelong learner. The teacher who puts his faith, confidence, and love on a child helps the child to feel valued and good about herself. That boss who delegates to the employees and gives them authority as well as responsibility enlarges their horizons and empowers them to become better workers and people. Even the parents who know how to give their children grace and when to, also help them to stay open and communicative. All of these people add lasting value to the lives of other people. One thing is this, we don't know what kind of influence you have on others, today as you read this article. Your actions may touch the lives of thousands of people. Perhaps you use the opportunity
